They work as advertised.  They are basically a unmanaged switch that has two 
gigabit ports, one POE in and one POE OUT.

The idea is you can hook up to 1.5km of cable between them (assuming you have 
power from both sides).  We have a cat5 that runs up to a tower, and that cat 5 
needed to be extended three times to make it up, plug these in, plug a 56v POE 
injector at the bottom, boom works and 1gigabit.

They also have their netpower 15R, that takes 15 POE ins and is a switch.  Only 
need one to run it, but kinda neat.
